Interesting. I have no idea how to Celebrate my bandiversary. I don't want to buy any new clothes, because I'm hoping I won't be this size very much longer. I used to celebrate everything with food. The first thing that came to mind for a celebration on my bandiversary date was a "birthday" cake. What an awful idea!

So what are you guys doing, if anything? I'd go for a mani/pedi, but I want to wait until spring to do that. I don't have the money laying around to do that right now, anyway. Any other ideas?

OOOO , a massage sounds great ! I've never had one but I think a bandiversariy would be a great way to Celebrate , if.... they can get through my baggy, saggy skin !lol ! hey I love wendy's chili too. I eat it almost every day for lunch since it's only a buck. hey i gotta go the weather just turned really nasty and school's out and I've gotta drive 22 miles home. I'll check in tomorrow.

Ive never had a massage, I like the idea, but I think I'd get a little wierded out with someone else massaging my whole body (especially when my fat rolls move with them with every wave of their hand:biggrin:, how SEXY!!) I know its another 'fat' hangup!!!

Unfortunately my first thought went to anniversary cake too!

This needs so more thought!!!

But, holy crap............I have been without carbonated beverages for a YEAR!!! I thought that I was going to DIE without my diet coke. (so did my kids as a matter of fact! No one knew what hit them!! Crystal Lite Rules!!!

My first thought was progress pictures to be honest with you.

At 100 pounds lost I am geting a mani/pedi.

At goal I am getting a tatoo. It is going to be small and on my foot. I am not sure exactly when it will be yet but I want something that pays tribute to the changes in my life.

Ok , I made it home alive last night. How weird , the day started out at 50, then as the cold front moved through we had storms, winds and a small tornado touched down, then...snow and ice in the evening and today the temp. is 19 and we're due for 6 inches of snow tomorrow. All of that happened in like 3 hours !:lol:

I am eating my wendy's chili for lunch right now. I would love a tattoo around my ankle, now that they no longer swell up anymore. i tried a henna one in florida and loved how it looked , but I heard that area is really tender and painful - I am such a wimp about that. i would also like to get my nose pierced. i already have 8 holes in each ear( my students think it's cool - parents don't believe them or think it's weird) but no where else yet. I guess it's the musician in me - we tend to be a little different !:biggrin: I also still like the massage idea, tho' my body looks pretty gross and squishy right now. don't know if I could "bare" it all to a stranger.

I just schedued my 8th fill for Feb. 13th. i am not staying full as long and can eat a little more too. Thus I've come to a stand still for losing. I sooo want to be under 200 lbs. 17 lbs to go ! CRAP !:lol: My bandiversary is the 21st, so I doubt I'll reach that goal but I think we've all done

AWESOME this past year ! Let's keep it up !:tongue: C/Ya'll !

Dang girl I am glad you are safe. That crazy shit hit us last night. Went from high forties to about 9 degrees this morning with a wind chill of -10. The wind blew so hard it snapped the 4x4s right in half on 4 panels of my privacy fence.

I feel like I have the plague or something. Feel like total crap. I mean, it just feels like a regular old head cold, but it's zapped every ounce of my energy. Just sitting here typing this, I have to take breaks.... I wasn't sure I'd be able to stay upright for my shower this morning, and it's a good thing it's a shower with a corner seat.

T.G. - It definately sounds like the flu. My neighbors have the same thing. Sever head cold for the parents, children had cold and lasting fever. Dr's said it was flu!!! Take care of yourself, they have been down and out for about 4 days.

Hope you feel better soon

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
